http://www2.ljworld.com/comments/cr/303/614758/#c2570904<p>As a parent of a mixed-race child in the district, I would like to see district officials survey teachers and other staff about their thoughts on equity matters in the district. Is what they&#39;re doing really working? What else is needed? <br />This would seem very reasonable considering equity is one of the stated pillars in the district, and it would be a better way of putting a finger on the pulse of what&#39;s actually happening rather than just stating goals and general perceptions.</p>

http://www2.ljworld.com/comments/cr/303/610939/#c2549912<p>Good letter. Sad reason to have to write it. <br />Thank you for trying to get the word out about this shortsighted, horribly expensive mistake our state government is positioning themselves to make.</p>

http://www2.ljworld.com/comments/cr/303/610905/#c2549655<p>As a parent of a USD497 student, a district teacher, and a community member, I can&#39;t help but wonder about the morale concerns expressed by the Board President Sandburn. How will this board and this administrator resolve staff morale issues when these problems evolved in the district during the time in which they had top leadership roles?<br />Morale problems among employees, especially teachers, make it so much harder for them to be at their best for students.<br />Only time will tell whether or not they are serious about the effort to improve morale, whether or not they know how to authentically accomplish that goal, and whether or not checks and balances will be in place to assure this goal is truly being met and communicated accurately to the public.<br />Given how Kansas state government is already so hard on teacher morale, this effort can&#39;t have more urgency if we intend to keep skilled and caring teachers in our classrooms.</p>

http://www2.ljworld.com/comments/cr/303/603010/#c2502500<p>Margey, I have always adored you, so I am very pleased to see this piece about you and Bob! I know there are many more wonderful things that can be said about you than can even begin to fit in this article, but I want to mention that I was lucky enough to watch you be the heart and soul of the KU Visitors Center when it came into being. What fun moments you brought the staff and student workers, too, like the time you brought in a basket of hundreds of Cadbury eggs! The student workers&#39; eyes were never so big. I&#39;m glad you are being recognized, even though clearly that&#39;s not why you do what you do. </p>

http://www2.ljworld.com/comments/cr/1203/371850/#c2467359<p>During his visit, I really hope that President Obama comes to see how historically significant, dynamic, and wonderful Lawrence is. <br />This is a pretty special place, and this is a remarkable occasion to have him here.<br />Welcome, Mr. President!</p>

http://www2.ljworld.com/comments/cr/303/572749/#c2207644<p>You&#39;ve got to be kidding. Quit making excuses for them. That turkey could have ended up alive and safely returned as they promised on 6News the prior evening. It&#39;s not that hard to keep a turkey alive. Something is very wrong with these young men, and it&#39;s time to stop diminishing how inappropriately they conducted themselves. They tortured it in the name of fun. </p>
